I have a big project that FINALLY got Finished!!! and I am so Happy!!
I had a client who's husband passed away. He was a Dairy Man and she saved a bunch of his work shirts for just simple quilts for his kids.... He had 4!
So I dug into the shirts and started cutting squares. Surprisingly - that took a LONG time!!! but I got the tops together and since he was a pilot, I quilted planes on each quilt. and then... the binding....
but now!! they are all done, and ready for her to have them!!!!
Here they are!! I used pockets and some button cuffs and I think they are really fun quilt.
And the Airplanes. Aren't those fun?
So!!! Now it is your turn!!! Show us what you have been up to!!! Share the link - lets make the link up BIG!!!
